Promotion? 92% Believe In It

Over the past fortnight visitors to GloryGloryLeedsUnited.com have been predicting where United will finish at the end of our first ever season in the third tier of English football. The sides fantastic start to the campaign has fuelled expectation levels, with an amazing 92% of supporters believing Dennis Wise's troops will secure promotion back to the Championship at the first time of asking.

Confidence remained positive despite Leeds first real setback of the season, the end of a 13 game unbeaten run at Carlisle United last weekend. The team put their promotion push firmly back on track last night with an excellent 3-1 away win at AFC Bournemouth.

Considering the club were forced to begin the campaign on minus 15 points, the turnaround is all the more remarkable. It's a unique season where Leeds are attempting to rewrite history, no team has ever escaped relegation after incurring a far less damaging 10 point sanction. Yet to their credit the Dennis and the boys are aiming much, much higher. The sky really is the limit, and the fans fully believe anything is possible.
